“Beirut – in Between,” explores and illustrates the multiple identities found in Lebanon’s capital city. After a lengthy civil war, in the 1990s, the city and especially the downtown were reconstructed. Politicians and developers aspired to reposition Beirut on the world map again; however, critics alleged that they have built another Disney World.
